You can check the NdisMedium property of MSFT_NetAdapter if you have WMIC installed. Something like this will get you information about the type of connection you have: %__APPDIR__%wbem\WMIC.exe /NameSpace:\\root\StandardCimv2 path MSFT_NetAdapter where "InterfaceOperationalStatus='1' and Virtual='F...

Certain special characters like | require escaping. See the comments and the 1 answer in this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/688 ... 1#75099921

If your system has access to WMIC, you can define the USB drive letter as a variable rather easily like this: for /f "skip=2 tokens=2 delims=," %%g in ('%__APPDIR__%wbem\WMIC.exe logicaldisk where "drivetype=2" get DeviceID 2^>nul /format:csv') do set "usbDrive=%%g" Subsequently, you can use 'if def...

Since WMIC has been deprecated in Windows 10 and is expected to be removed in Windows 11, a more robust way to capture the date would be something like the following:

not working

"not working" is not a helpful response. What isn't working? What message do you receive when you issue the commands Saso suggested?

expect only three lines containing pattern, but got more lines netstat -rn | findstr /C:"0.0.0.0" 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.12.70.65 10.12.70.66 281 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.236 50 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-link 127.0.0.1 331 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-link 169.254.71.163 281 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-...

There are several examples out there of how to auto-check for privileges and elevate as needed. Here is a simple example: ( >nul 2>&1 %__APPDIR__%net.exe session ) || ( echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%tmp%\uac.vbs" echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~snx0", "%*", "%~sdp0", "runas", 1 >> ...

This is untested from a non-Admin account, but you could try this:

1. Create a Shortcut to the Run dialog. For the location, use the following: explorer shell:::{2559a1f3-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}
2. From the Properties of this Shortcut, go to Advanced and select Run as Administrator.

Depending on the level of privileges you want to determine, could you search by the Security Identifier? For example, the INFO.BAT script on this site https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6108&p=49091#p49091 uses the following to check for Admin privileges: whoami /groups |findstr /i "\...

If you are open to powershell, I've done this from a batch script:

What happen if current day is the 1st one? One day before would be the last day of previous month... If the current day is January/1st, then one day before would be December/31 of previous year... If current day is March/1st the day before would be February/28, excepting if the year is a leap year....
